annoying patterns in some sounds

Postby Ron » Wed Sep 24, 2008 6:34 pm

I've noticed in the white/pink/brown noises that there annoying patterns in each of them. the pattern is different in each one. For example in the brown noise it is a low freq sound that repeats but in the white noise it's higher freq sound.

Since the sounds must be a repeat of a 1 sec or loop the annoying sounds repeat themselves every second or so.

It's not that noticeable when using a speaker but it is with earphones. Because of the short durations of all the sounds their will be patterns but won't be that noticeable with the other sounds.

But the whole idea of white/pink/brown noise is to just hear a constant sound. When you hear these annoying repeating patterns it not only annoying, it defeats the purpose.

Can you correct this in your next upgrade?

Thanks, Ron

Thanks for letting us know! This is the first we have heard of this but will certainly correct in the next release. Cheers, Todd

I've noticed this, too, but the spacing is a little longer than what was noted before. I hear an extra set of sounds every 2 sec in White Noise and in Pink Noise, and about every 10 sec in Heavy Rain. Hopefully this extra information is helpful in fixing these issues.

Even with these quirks, this is probably the app I use the most. Keep up the great work!!

Yes, I have also noticed the cyclic pattern in the colored noise sounds also and it is disturbing and unusable for a light sleeper like myself. Please correct these! I had to use the hard rain sound instead and thankfully it seems with that sound the cyclic pattern is in fact well masked. I hope this will be the case for the colored noise sounds as well very soon.

Thank you. :(

Thanks for feedback. In the last release we wanted to reduce the overall size for the color sounds but will revert back to originals.

Any other sounds causing issue?

That's a good goal to to keep the color sounds smaller. Hopefully you can still use short samplings of color noise without creating a noise pattern.

I only tried the color sounds as I am used to a fairly blank noise, but I did find the rain noises to be fine.

Thanks.

The core of this app is the color sounds. It is absolutly inherant that they be as clean and consistany as possible. Focus all your attention on cleaning up these sounds and I will throw out my $70 marsona. I will bet that 90% of people who use this app only use color sounds. I use it with my logitech Pure-Fi. Must correct this problem other wise I will stick to energy guzzling fan or marsona when I have access to it. :x

All color sounds have been improved and some new ones were added in 2.0 which is now available. Let me know if you still have issues. Thanks, Todd
